Review Summary

Vigrx plus is one of the best selling over the counter pills with proven clinical results (peer reviewed scientific paper) for increasing blood flow to the penis and libido. Its constituents are popular asphordic and have independent scientific research backings behind it (references below). But, there is no evidence of the permanent increase in penis size (superior erections typically results in 0.5-1.5 inch temporary growth in erect length though) despite the claims by the company. In my personal trial of 6 months, I found it superior to other best sellers supplements for long lasting erections with a visible increase in erect penis size (though no permanent gain was noticed). They have 67 days money back guarantee if you are not satisfied with results( you need to save containers though). I would recommend it (#1 in OTC sexual enhancement pills category) for stronger erections and increased libido but would NOT recommend it solely for increasing penis size.

Full Review

Note that this review going to cover both positives and negatives. Though I have done 6 months testing Vigrx plus, I would not base this review solely on that as it would be anecdotal and unscientific. You can read the MRZ community reviews at the end of the post.

What is VigRx Plus?

VigRX Plus is a clinically-tested proprietary polyherbal preparation for improving male sexual function. The product is marketed by Leading Edge Health (BBB accredited business) since 2001. The clinical studies which show its efficacy, in a double-blind, randomized placebo-controlled, parallel groups, multi-centre study was done by a separate organization called Vedic Life Sciences. VigRx Plus is designed to increase sexual stamina and vigor, as well as increase your libido.The product has been endorsed by celebrity doctor(author of the best-seller “Hardness Factor”) Dr.Steven Liamm. Vigrx plus has been used by over half a million people over years.

Background

It can be very frustrating if you don’t perform as expected on the bed. Though everyone loves sex, it is also a fact that many men barely get a long lasting erection.Sometimes, erection and libido can be there but your partner is still shouting for more. Hence, you get obsessed with the thought of wanting to have a harder, bigger and longer penis to satisfy your partner and maximize the pleasure at the same time. The prescription pills might not be your first preference as you may not be officially diagnosed with ED or just want to avoid those due to their side-effects.

VigRX Plus heightens libido. As you age, you may notice that your erections start to be less firm and can even get lost in the middle of your intercourse. However, if you are taking VigRX Plus, there will be an elevated head size, harder and bigger erection, greater orgasms, long lasting erection and more improved sex drive. In fact, you would feel like you are back to your 20’s again. This supplement is also used to address impotence problem and improve blood circulation to your genital area. It was found to be effective in elevating sperm production too.

This supplement is a combination of herbs that are proven to be effective in increasing libido, augmenting erection size and staying on power throughout your bed performance. Its effectiveness can be attributed to its Bioprene content which is derived from black pepper extract. This increases absorption of the supplement to 30%. Hence, VigRX Plus is way beyond other types of male enhancers when it comes to effectiveness and potency.

What Ingredients are in VigRx Plus?

Most of the ingredients in Vigrx Plus are used to increase blood flow to get better erection and improve sexual arousal. I would cover the 5 main ingredients which make Vigrx plus unique and have strong clinical and/or scientific evidence for their effectiveness. You may refer their official website for more details regarding constituents.

BioPerine

BioPerine is the base of VigRx Plus and was not available in the original formulation of VigRX, but it is now added as the main component in this new formulation.Bioperine helps the human body absorb the potent substances.It is a natural ingredient made from Indian black pepper fruit and made into an extract, which known as piperine. Bioperine has been clinically proven to increase the absorption rate by up to 35% and patented in the United States. It is one of the main constituents which make Vigrxplus stand out from the competition.

Epimedium Leaf Extract(Horny Goat Weed)

Epimedium has been used for a long time to increase sex drive. Its active component “Icariin” has been termed as potential equivalent to “blue pills”. (Resource: J. Nat. Prod., 2008, 71 (9), pp 1513-15). The traditional name “Horny goat weed” derives from the story that it had been first uncovered when a Chinese goat herder discovered the improved sexual desire and copulating actions of his goat herd after eating this flowering plant.

Asian Red Ginseng

Red Ginseng has been utilized in traditional Chinese medicine for thousands of years as an aphrodisiac. It boosts nitric oxide synthesis improving blood circulation towards the penis and leads to stronger erection strength. A double-blind research report published in 2001 by the Department of Urology at the University of Ulsan College of Medicine (www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12394711) confirmed the effectiveness of Korean Red Ginseng for the treatment of erection dysfunction.

Damiana (Turnera Aphrodisiaca)

Damiana is another aphrodisiac since the period of the Mayans and its effectiveness has been confirmed by scientists for increased stamina and erection. One more most recent research of Damiana on patients with diabetes demonstrated that its effectiveness fixing erection problems. (US Patent #5523087)

Muira Pauma Bark Extract (Ptychopetalum Olacoides)

It is a plant extract, which has been traditionally used in South America and placed in the British Herbal Pharmacopoeia as a treatment for dysentery and erectile dysfunction.In a study by Dr. Waynberg with 100 men with complaints regarding sex-related function and also insufficient desire, 66% noted an increased frequency of sexual intercourse and 70% reported an overall boost in their own desire for sex.

Apart from these five prime ingredients (which has strong scientific and clinical evidence for better sexual stamina, erection, and libido), it consists following aphrodisiacs.

Cascuta Seed Extract

Damiana

Gingko Biloba

Hawthorn Berry

Muira Pauma

Saw Palmetto

Tribulus Terrestris

Clinical Studies

Vigrx Plus is one of the few male enhancement pills that has been actually clinically studied by the various group of researchers and research report published in reputed peer-reviewed(which means the report stood the scrutiny of independent scientists) journals. The clinical study was conducted by another company called Vedic Life Science with a group of 75 men aged between 25 and 50 over a period of 45 days. This triple-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized study (researchers neither knew who is taking Vigrx plus nor they knew what Vigrx plus is) to evaluate the safety and efficacy of VigRX Plus capsules gave the following results as shown in the graph below.

Summary of the results

63% INCREASE in ability to maintain erection

59% INCREASE in ability to penetrate partner

23% INCREASE in frequency & quality of orgasms

73% INCREASE in sexual & intercourse satisfaction

47% INCREASE in sex drive and desire

61 INCREASE in overall sexual satisfaction

I would not bore you much with technical details here. If you are interested, you can find the full research report here.

Apart from this study, I found six more clinical studies showing positive results about the effectiveness of Vigrx plus.

Does Vigrx Plus have any side effects?

Although VigRx Plus is made of mostly natural herbs and its extracts and has been clinically tested for its efficacy, still it has not been approved by FDA. So, I read a lot of research report about Vigrx and its main constituents to find any adverse reports. Since VigRx has been in the market for more than a decade now, there has been an ample number of studies about its efficacy and side-effects (Researchgate report). I could not find any report of serious adverse effects exclusive to Vigrx plus.However, some of the ingredients can have some minor effects such as mild symptoms of nausea, heart Palpitations/restlessness (mostly for people having serious heart conditions), allergic reactions(mostly seen in people taking medication for Parkinson’s disease, Schizophrenia or Alzheimer’s. If you are taking medication for any of these and notice similar persistent side-effects for more than a week, you can return the products under their 68 days money-back-guarantee.

Does Vigrx plus increase penis size?

The short answer is not enough scientific evidence for an answer to be conclusive yes. Though there are numerous studies about increased libido, stamina, and erection with regular Vigrx plus intakes, there is no exclusive study about the effect on penis length. In six months of my trial, though I observed about 0.5 inches increase in erection length, I think it was due to harder erection than the real increase in size. If you are looking solely for penis size increase, try Bathmate or Phallosan forte extender.

Where to buy Vigrx Plus?

Note that Vigrx plus is not available in any retail store including Walmart. If you come across anything like that, you can be sure that they are fake. Though their price point is not exactly cheap these are quite light on pocket compared to $20+/pill for prescription pills.

You can buy Vigrx plus exclusively from their official website. Beware of counterfeit products from sold online in similar sounding names/websites. You need to register your delivery on the official website to be covered under 60 days money back guarantee. There is no working coupon right now.(Updated March 2018)

The product is shipped internationally to almost all parts of the world. They have also multilingual website support(check top right to choose your preferred language)

Final words- Does Vigrx Plus really work?

It worked for me (34-year-old white straight male with no significant health issue) to a significant extent but that should not be good enough reason for you to buy. Every person is different and its efficacy can vary from person to person. Having said that, I can say that Vigrx Plus is currently one of the most reliable male enhancement pills with backings of the maximum number of clinical studies and most positive reviews across the web. Note that, all these positive words are solely for better and stronger erections not about increasing size. Though harder erection can result up to 0.75-1 inch growth of erection length, there is just not sufficient evidence for the same. Given their 60 days money back guarantee, it is one of the first product you should go for to bring back fireworks to your bedroom.

Given their 60 days money back guarantee, it is one of the first product you should go for to bring back fireworks to your bedroom. Just keep the expectation realistic and have safe-sex!

My name is Mike Knight. Blogger And father of a cute son! I write about everything related to sexual health ( not just penis enlargement) and supplements. I cover all embarrassing topics which others avoid. This blog was started to share my personal experience with penis extenders and penis pumps. It has grown from there to a nice repository of real user reviews. You can reach out to me from my contact page.

Cons

Though they do not offer a free trial, they offer 60 days money back guarantee and they do honor that promise if you buy from their online store and send empty containers. So, you can try the product without any monetary risk. Note that you have to cover shipping fees though. You can read more about the money back here.

Almost all of the supplements product work on the temporary basis ie once you stop using those their effect gets diminished. So, if you want to keep getting results, you need to keep taking it. Since Vigrx plus has natural ingredients with no considerable side-effects, there is no harm in long term usage. For permanent results, I would advise you to pelvic floor exercise (eg jelqing) with these pills as well. Good luck.

I noticed most significant effect around 10 weeks after usage though there was a noticeable difference after 3 weeks of usage. You should wait for few more weeks before taking any call. I hope you bought those pills from genuine stores. If you got from any third party vendors, please check the authenticity of your product here.

Vigrx plus helps in getting more frequent and harder erections. This may help in lasting longer indirectly but it has not been formulated keeping premature ejaculation problem in mind. If you are looking for supplement exclusively for PE issue, I would recommend Prosolution plus over Vigrx plus.

I am a 35-year-old male and did not have any significant issue with libido. But, my erection was not very hard for which I tried this pill. I have tried other OTC pills before without any result. But, this worked surprisingly quick for me and I noticed results within a week of starting to use it. Helped spice up our sex life a little and was a great surprise to my wife.

I am assuming it is a general multivitamin which you are taking without any prescription. Unless you are under prescription medicine for heart diseases or diabetes( in that case you may ask your doctor),it is fine to try these pills.

Please refer my answer to Roy above. The short answer is this pill is designed for better erection than PE issue. Try prosolution for PE issue. Also, practice “start and stop” exercise for better control. Between, I notice you have left review for Vigrx as well. Have you tried it before?

Hi Rashid,
Yes, they do ship worldwide including most of the middle eastern countries.They also have support in 9 languages (check top right of the site). Everyone who buys from their official online store gets covered in their money back guarantee.

Actually, I do not have any ED issue and I have tried these pills to get better erections. I have not become any kind of nympho. Most likely, you would get more frequent and harder erections. I am not sure about affairs part. 🙂

Hi Jack,
I have never tried M1 Formula before. But the fact that it is no longer circulated in the market only means that it is no longer sold for some reason. This means that VigRX is still more recommendable for use.

In my experience or also from reviews (apart from better constituents), Vigrx plus should be the first pills to try before anything else. Apart from male enhancement aids, you may also do some kegals, jelqs. They’re just supplements and you can get better and cheaper if you look around.

You have mentioned that you have tried it personally. Do you have ED issue? How severe is it? If not,were you not worried about side-effects? My husband is 40 now and his libido has decreased substantially in last few years. I was thinking if I can suggest him this product?

No, I do not have ED issue. But, as it is a supplement, I tried it to get more frequent and harder erections. I did get good results as shared above. I was not worried much about side-effects as this is mostly a herbal formula and I do not have any medical conditions.
Yes, libido decreases substantially for some people as they age especially people in 40s.You can recommend this to him but keep in mind the psychological aspects so that it does not hurt his ego.

Yes, I always do test company’s money back guarantee promise before recommending it to users. The only thing you have to keep in mind that you need to keep empty packets. Also, they will deduct shipping charges from you. (which is generally in $10-$30 range for most customers). You can check more details here.

I have read your blog and am very interested in trying it to make my girlfriend happy. However, I fear that I may not be able to control my sex drive once I take the pill. Of course, I don’t want to end up hanging out with one of my friends and break my girlfriend’s heart by cheating on her.

I am planning to take VigRX Plus together with sem enhance and volume pills. Is it safe? I have hear that many sex enhancing products have some undesirable effects. More than anything, health and safety are my top priorities.

Though, your erect length is less than average; it is not any extreme case scenario. There is no reason to take it on your self-esteem. This pill generally gives better erection which may result in erect length be bigger than previous if you take continuously for few months. But, this would not result in an increase in placid length. I would suggest you consider penis pumps such as Bathmate or Phallosan Forte to increase in size. Good luck.

Yes, it is. There has been no major new product/pills release in 2017. Still, results vary from person to person. But, it always makes sense to start with the best ones and move to others once it does not work for you.

I’m in my senior life now but my age did not stop me from enjoying the pleasure that life has to offer. Unfortunately, I can no longer achieve that hard rock result that I want and finish the urge in less than 5 minutes. I want to extend my performance to 30 minutes and improve the hardness as well. Can you please guide me?

It’s nice to know that you are still enjoying life at your age. Well, you can use a testosterone booster together with VirgRX Plus for better result. You will need to release the testosterone that your body is trying to neutralize. And using both products will award you with a better result. You can also use ProSolution Gel to lengthen your bed performance as well.

I don’t just want to boost my bed performance, I wanted to maximize it. So, I am thinking of taking Extenze and VigRX plus at the same time. If I can’t do this, which of them do you recommend? I wanted to have longer performance and hard rock erection.

Actually, I have tried Extenze and VigRX Plus before and they are both as effective. Since they have same result, there is no need to take them altogether. In fact, you may even risk yourself of getting more than your body’s need. And remember that anything too much is always harmful. I suggest that you alternate their use (one month at a time). This will prevent the possibility of developing tolerance to any of their ingredients. Also, using them one at a time will make it easier for you to check which of them works best for you.

It increases the length of the erect penis by virtue of superior blood supply (ie you are more likely to achieve your maximum length). If you are looking for permanent size increase pumps or extenders with jelqing exercise is recommended.

I see you recommend Vigrx plus as a regular supplement rather than taking it occasionally just before sex. I need something cheap and works fast,which I can pop just when my girlfriend is coming to my place. What would you suggest?

I wanted to increase my overall size. Would you recommend using VigRX Plus? I only have 4.5 inches and kept on convincing myself that size doesn’t matter. But the truth is; it does since I am not happy in my bed performance.

Hey. Don’t be sad. As they say, there is always a solution to any problem. What VigRX Plus really does is make your organ harder, hence making it appear big. However, it does not really enhance its length. If it’s the size that bothers you, better use an extender or hydro pump instead. These tools will give you a more permanent result.

Currently, science has no permanent and exact cure for impotence. Of course, you can always give VigRX Plus and ProSolution pills a try. Though both products have distinct formulas that help men with impotence, VigRX Plus is much better for me since it contains more ingredients. It also comes with Bioprene to improve potency.

After reading a lot of VigRX Plus Review, I still feel uncertain whether I should try it. I’m in my early 20’s and have 6 inches length. So far, I am satisfied with my sex life. I have read guys using VigRX Plus for 4 months and gained 1 inch but 70% of this was gone when they stopped taking the pill. Will this be worth my money if I can only get a very minimal result?

I have read the labels of Volume Pills and Semenax and noticed that they have different ingredients. With this, I have the feeling that it is safe to take them altogether since they will just compliment to one another. But when I read your blog, I want to use VigRX Plus too. Can this be possible? Is it safe? I am really excited to experience all the favorable effects of these products.

Well, as far as I know, VigRX Plus, Semenax and Volume pills are all safe products to use. However, I am not a doctor and honestly don’t know how their ingredients will react when taken at the same time. Perhaps the wisest thing to do is to take them one at a time. You can start using Volume Pills then add Semenax after 2 weeks once you have adjusted. After 2 more weeks, you can add VigRX Plus as well. However, it is still best to consult your doctor about it.

I understand where you are coming from. I think you know there are prescription medications which has proven to be very effective. So, there is no point of being pessimistic. In this case, this particular pill has been shown to be effective in many clinical studies. If it does not work, you can always ask for money back guarantee.

What i have noticed so far is that i get harder erections which helps me in doing pelvic floor exercises, because it keeps the blood flowing easily(of course i don’t jelq erected). I feel more sensitive down there. It has happened once that my tool was extremely erect and was in max length for which my wife was surprised and was curious. It has not happened again or may be she got used to it.

I am hypertensive. That is why I am careful when it comes to taking medication (herbal supplements included. However, this does not mean that I totally shut down my door to the pleasure that sex has to offer. So I am planning to take VigRX Plus. By the way, is it safe?

VigRX Plus went through 3 clinical studies and results found this safe to use. However, since you are taking a hypertensive drug, it may have certain reactions with VigRX Plus. Your best option is to consult your doctor and bring him VigRX Plus’ list of ingredients.

Hi Mike,
I have been using this product for more than 6 months now with good results. I am able to achieve more frequent and better erections but I think I am still lacking in stamina. I am still under 5 minutes most of the time. Would you suggest anything for this issue?

Good to know that you got results. About, the premature ejaculation issue, I can always recommend supplements such as prosolution plus for quick results. But, more than that most of the times, you can improve your stamina by doing pelvic floor exercises (jelqing). If you are serious about this issue, then you can actually try both simultaneously.

Have been taking this stuff for 3 months now. I am 45 year old straight male. After around 1 month of taking these pills twice a day,I started feeling more hornier than usual. Nothing like blue pills but the erection frequency is almost twice. In the official website,they do mention positive words about size. But,so far I have not noticed anything regarding length.

Pardon my bluntness. But,if I have money to buy for prescription pills online,should I consider these so called herbal pills? I do not plan to use it all the time just when required. Is there anyone here compare the effects of this pill with real FDA approved prescription ones?

Prescription pills can have some adverse side-effects : starting from muscle pain(common) to vision loss(rarely). Also taking prescription pills for recreational use may be harmful in case you have any other existing medical condition. Herbal pills are popular due to their lack of side effects.

I read somewhere instead of taking these erection pills one can take the main super effective ingredients and take it separately. That way it ll be super cheap. Also,green tea is missing in this pills ingredient. These herbs can be brought separately from Walmart stores. That way it ll cost $20/bottle with max $100/month. Have you ever considered such alternative?

Rohit, I have never tried that alternative and does not sound safe to me. Even if these are herbs, you should never try a composition on yourself first. I think you should first test if the product works for you (everyone is different) before trying to make a cheaper replica. Good luck.

I am not exaggerating here. I know there are a lot of disappointed guys here as well. But,in my case I am getting more erection than I bargained for. Though,I am enjoyed it ,I am afraid it may be harming me long term.

After about 3 days of taking 2 pills/day, my erection is s ranging hot and hard, my penis feels thicker.

My erections just seem to stay, even if they subside, the faintest physical/mental stimulation for sex sets in a boner.
The penis feels like it just had a work out, same feeling that I used to normally get in teenager days.
,Like say 50 to 70% erect just at the slightest thought. Also,I am getting slight headache (though not sure it is due to this pill or from my viral fever from last week).
Is it possible that they might have put some chemical formula apart from those mentioned herbs? I was never expecting such boost from herbal formula onlu

Wow. That is a bit surprising. I hope you have bought from the official website.
“Is it possible that they might have put some chemical formula apart from those mentioned herbs?”
If you have bought from the official website, there is virtually no chance for that. Some of the ingredients work better for some individuals than others. That might explain your situation. Though there are no clinical studies about the long term results, most of the constituent herbs are safe for long term usage.

I have been taking these for 3 months with decent results. Better erection and blood flow. But,I am worried about long term effect.
Is there any chance of adverse reaction (blurred vision/NAION etc) similar to blue pills? Is there any long term risk to vision with these pills ? I hope the similarity in name does not have any real implication apart from brand value.

I am 58 years old and, just this year I have started getting ED. It’s the most aggravating thing I’ve ever had to deal with. I have researched and, tried a lot of supplements. Individual supplements and combined supplements. I came across VigRx Plus, and read about it and decided to try it. Yes, it’s a little pricey, but compared to others it’s quite competitive. It is also the only one I’ve found that was actually tested, before put on the market. My question is – How long do I need to take VigRx Plus, before I start getting any results from it ?

Hey,I do not recommend going for new brands as they do not have any track record (as market feedback acts kind of live testing). Still,if you have any particular brand in mind, please feel free to suggest me. I will try to do cover that in next post.
